Bus Stop Jungle part 3: Answers

Well, after weeks of speculation, we finally have an explanation for the flowers. I'm a little disappointed that my happiness was caused by something as evilly corporate as a massive deodorant campaign, but at least they are being evil in a pretty and friendly way!

Bus Stop Jungle!

I had a really happy surprise this morning! When I got to my bus stop, someone had decorated it with giant flowers for absolutely no discernible reason! Everyone stood out in the middle of the street taking pictures while we waited for the bus to arrive :)

It was the only stop decorated on the whole route. Yay for random acts of whimsy :)
